Jeff is correct, it was John Watson in 1982.

Cheers Dave.

Staying on a Watson theme:

How many majors did Tom Watson win?

[Barry Scott]

eight (plus I believe he's won tow senior majors as well)

[Jeff]

Was only thinking of the 'major' majors so it's your turn - well done!

[Barry Scott]

How many baseball World Series titles have been won by teams from New York?

[David Holden]

I make it:

 

New York Giants 5

New York Yankees 21

Brooklyn Dodgers 1

New York Mets 2

 

Total = 29

[Barry Scott]

nearly, but that's not what I have written down

[gnfcmightymole]

i didn't know new york giants were a baseball team thought they were a america football team.

 

24

[David Holden]

I must have missed a few years, the Yankees have 26 wins which would bring the total to 34.

 

The NY Baseball Giants relocated and became the San Francisco Giants, and of course the Dodgers became the LA Dodgers and went on to win a further 5 world series.

[Barry Scott]

you're right David

 

the New York Yankees have won 26, the New York (now San Francisco) Giants won 5, the New York Mets won 2 and the Brooklyn (now Los Angeles and what I thought was going to trip people up) Dodgers won 1 making the total 34. Over to you Mr Holden

[David Holden]

Of whom did Denis Healey say "It's like being savaged by a dead sheep"?

[Barry Scott]

Geoffrey Howe?

[David Holden]

It was indeed Mr Howe

[gnfcmightymole]

how about a question grimlock

[Barry Scott]

you'd like that wouldn't you...

 

the combination of Rick Walmsley and Henis Herron won this the very first time it was awarded. What?

 

(Full name and what it is for please)

[David Holden]

I think you mean Denis!

 

The William M. Jennings Trophy is an annual award given to the goalkeeper(s) having played a minimum of 25 games for the team with the fewest goals scored against it. Winners are selected based on regular-season play.
